At the heart of The Jewel Box's allure is a cocktail list that is both imaginative and rooted in tradition. Each concoction is a piece of liquid artistry, from the perfectly balanced Negroni kissed with a twist of orange, to the smooth, bourbon-based charm of the Old Fashioned, muddled to perfection.
The seasonal menu often features unique creations, like the Lavender Pisco Sour, a delightful infusion of floral notes and citrus tang, or the captivating Smoked Pear Martini, offering a hint of autumnal smokiness with each sip. For something more refreshing, the Cucumber Basil Gimlet provides a cool, herbaceous escape.
